From the images they look very dusty and dirty. Maybe you might like to clean them up and give them a few good coats of scandinavian oil. That swirling figure of witco cedar is just beautiful and you might change your mind seeing what they look like after a little work. If you have the space to spare, I think they would look amazing if you put hooks and wire in the back of them and arrange them as some kind of wall feature. That's just my suggestion. And concidering they do have history in an old tiki establishment it would be a shame to use it as your woodpile. There must be a timber yard somewhere near you that you could purchase cedar or a suitable wood you could use for your carvings. Maybe you might want to do a little research. Anyway I hope this helps in making your decision. -Fletcher
